Answer:

93.28%

Explanation:

To solve the percent yield we need to find theoretical yield:

<em>Percent yield = Actual Yield (452.78g) / Theoretical yield * 100</em>

<em />

Theoretical yield is obtained converting the mass of acetylene to moles and using the balanced equation determine the moles of CO₂ produced assuming a 100% of reaction:

<em>Moles acetylene (Molar mass: 26.04g/mol)</em>

143.6g C₂H₂ * (1mol / 26.04g) = 5.515 moles C₂H₂

<em>Moles CO₂:</em>

5.515 moles C₂H₂ * (4 moles CO₂ / 2mol C₂H₂) = 11.029moles CO₂

<em>Mass CO₂ (Molar mass: 44.01g/mol):</em>

11.029moles CO₂  * (44.01g / mol) = 485.39g CO₂ is theoretical yield

Percent yield is:

Percent yield = 452.78g / 485.39g * 100

= 93.28%

Water combines with carbon dioxide Choose one: A. only in the atmosphere. B. to produce hydrogen sulfide. C. to precipitate calc
katovenus [111]

Water combines with carbon dioxide to produce slightly acidic groundwater

that dissolves limestone and forms caves.

This is because the reaction between water and carbondioxide to form

bicarbonate ions( HCO₃⁻). The bicarbonate ions dissociate into Hydrogen

atoms thereby increasing the acidity.

The acidic environment results in the formation of acidic groundwater that

dissolves limestone and forms caves.

Indicate whether each of the following statements is correct or incorrect.1)Every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid2)Ever
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

1) correct

2) incorrect

3) correct

4)incorrect

Explanation:

1) A Lewis acid is a substance that accepts a nonbonding pair of electrons.

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton H⁺

Since the donation of a proton involves the acceptance of a pair of electrons, every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid.

2)A Lewis acid not necessarily needs to have a proton to be donated.

3) Conjugated acids of weak bases are strong acids and conjugated acids of strong bases are weak acids.

4)K⁺ comes from a strong base, therefore is does not have an acidic behaviour.

Explain the following phenomena. why Fluorine has lower electron affinity than chlorine​
Radda [10]

Electron affinity for fluorine is than chlorine most likely , due to the electron repulsion that occur between the electron where n= 2 . the elements in the second period have such small electron clouds that electron repulsion is greater than that of the rest of the family.

If 2.27 moles of bromine react with excess phosphorus, how many moles of phosphorus tribromide will be produced
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.51 moles of PBr₃

Explanation:

Data

moles of Br = 2.27

moles of PBr₃ = x

Balanced chemical reaction

                   2P   +   3Br₂  ⇒   2PBr₃

             Reactant      Element     Products

                   2                  P                 2

                   6                  Br                6

-Use proportions to find the answer

              3 moles of Br₂ ------------------  2 moles of PBr₃

         2.27 moles of Br₂ ------------------  x

               x = (2.27 x 2) / 3

               x = 4.54 / 3

              x = 1.51 moles
